Water resistance of our construction lamps

Water resistance of our construction lamps

As our construction lamps are often used for different purposes, it can sometimes happen that the lighting is also used outdoors. To guarantee the care and quality of our lamps, all our lamps are provided with an IP code. We are often asked what an IP code actually entails. This article will cover the most important aspects.

Security is guaranteed by an IP code

An IP code indicates the degree of safety of a lamp. The rating is based on two digits, each of which has its own meaning. The figures are described as the protection level. The first digits indicate the degree to which the object is touched and penetrated. The second digit describes the moisture resistance of the lamp. The latter also determines whether the lamp can be used in the open air. The height of the figures is important. The higher a figure, the more suitable it is far more difficult circumstances. Please note: there is nothing wrong with a lower rating if it is a completely different lamp. But in the case of construction lamps, this is important, especially if the lamp is used outside or on a construction site.

IP coding of our construction lamps

The construction lamps from LEDBouwlampshop.nl are (except with sensor) equipped with an IP code of 65. The '6' indicates that the lamp is completely dust-free because the entire housing is closed. The '5' indicates that the object is completely watertight and that water penetration is not required. Conclusion: the lamp will not contain any dirt or water (from the inside), because the lamp remains completely closed. The construction lamps can therefore certainly be used outdoors, without being damaged by severe weather conditions.
